LETTER X.
Baltimore, July 17, 1835.
From the statements in my last letter, you v:i\\ perceive that, were the commitments to the peni- tentiary proportioned equally among the whites and free blacks, the latter w^ould be to the fomier as 4 to 22, while in fact they are as 13 to 22.
It is said that the cases of recommitment amono; the colored convicts are fewer than among the whites ; and there is other evidence, also, that the former are more frequently reformed by their pun- ishment than the lat...ter. Most of the prisoners in the penitentiary are confined for theft ; and of the 88 female convicts, white and black, 82 are con- fined for this crime.
The besetting sin of the free colored people, as I have repeatedly remarked, is sloth ; and this, in connection with their imperfect moral discipline, leads to the commission of those crimes for which they are so severely punished. It is said also that in those counties where there is the greatest number of slaves, the free blacks are regarded with peculiar suspicion, ' and are prosecuted for small crimes, for 66 the purpose of sending them away from the neigh- borhood of the plantations.
